Even reading boards like this, or posting on here can help. For me, the worst part of suffering, and the biggest obstacle in getting through each additional day, is that it is done all alone. No one really knows. Sometimes knowing that others can see (or read) that you are in such horrible pain, and that you are continuing to endure it, helps a tiny bit. (Which is something, though small)
I'd say "I know what you must feel like" but I'd feel like a hypocrite, because I hated when people said that to me. But I think speaking to a T can be helpful, for no other reason than it provides you a place to aim to get to, and a person open to all your feelings. I used my meetings as a goal(the only goal in my life at the time). Something to commit me to the following week of living, and connect me to the future.
I'm honestly sorry you hurt so much. I wish I could say something better. (Most of my days now are bad days, and I never know how to help myself.)
Keep posting.Elaine
